2008 Open Source Business Planning Day - This Friday, Jan 4th

Joeann, :) Providing your business plan template would be a very generous gesture.  I sure would appreciate it.

Jessica, Something tells me you don't need a plan to kick butt.

Karen, I will check it out.  Thanks for the tip.

Susan, Talking about a plan is good.  I think having a written one is better.  It forces me to flesh out the details.

Rich, I too am looking forward to what is shared.

Sara, I am very eager to see what you will be submitting!! I am sure it is going to be good! ;)

Russ, There is always more to learn.

Scott, I am eager to see what you put together.

Natalie, Yep only two days left better get cookin.  I am going to try to put together a marketing plan for rookie agents.

Doreen, Hope you get some good ideas from this event.

Michelle, Thanks for the compliment!  I believe that you will do it.  Make this the best year ever.

Josette, Hmmm let me put some thought into it.  I forwarded your comment to Matt Heaton to see if he has any ideas.

Gaye, I think you are right on.  Getting it on paper is a major step towards reaching your goals.  It is difficult to hold yourself accountable if it is not concrete/on paper.

William, Thanks William!  Do you think you could tag your posts "2008 business plan" so we can all find them?

Ara, I think 2008 can and will be better for everyone who puts the effort in it.

Michael, Carolyn, I can't wait either.

Joan, Thanks Brian!  Do you have a plan? I would love to see it.

John, You better pull something good together.  You've set the bar high for yourself, and good things are expected!! (I wouldn't give up the games however.  Maybe during half time and timeouts?

Fran, Stealing is what it's all about. Uh, I mean borrowing. Like you said.

Bob, I love it.  Points are what makes the world go round, and no one can dish them out like you can.

Dane, The key is taking this great wealth of information and implementing it.

Neal, I bet it has to do more with wanting to let others be successful.

Kim, I would love to see your todo list.  I bet if you put it out there for the world to see, you would make sure that you complete your items!!

Patricia, :)

Dee, Great timing - your office training!! It wouldn't hurt to just free-form write some of your ideas down on paper before Friday, and then if you're willing share them with AR.

Randy, Thanks!

Lane, I totally agree.  I bet we will have some great submissions.

Rick,

Thanks for the reminder! I barely remember writing this post in the first place.  I will run it by Bob and Brad to see if they think it's a good idea, but I'd like to try it again this year.  Perhaps with a greater level of structure.
